Don’t Let Age Stand in Your Way
I don’t know about you but sometimes I allow myself to feel bad because I’m getting older and haven’t achieved as many things as I would have liked. However, once again, the Olympic games provided some true inspiration for me. Another swimmer, Dara Torres, competed in the games and broke records at the age of 41. I couldn’t physically have done what she did at age 25 much less 41! During an interview with her, she mentioned that she has a team of people who work with her to help her overcome any problems that age presents, ie. sore muscles, fatigue, etc. Working with her team, she is able to do more than your average 41-year-old.

A Positive Attitude Can Save Your Life
After having been in remission for some time, one of my neighbors is very ill with cancer. The ambulance has been to her house several times over the last month and she’s not doing too well at the moment. I can only imagine how terrible I would feel if a member of my family were suffering this way–but her husband always has a smile on his face. Whenever we speak about his wife and her condition, he chats in such a friendly manner. If I didn’t know what he is going through with his wife right now, I would never guess his situation. I know that he must suffer a great deal inside but he is showing the world a positive face.
